Fatherland *

Wo ist das?

@@rama7267 in polen ist das oft so.

That's interesting. I was wondering just how accurate or realistic this short movie was, and it seems pretty accurate indeed. Most of the old B&W movies (Pathe) that I watch have the soldiers in full kit & handing-in their rifles, ammo, pistols, etc.

@@BelloBudo007 In some parts of the area occupied by Germany, the German soldiers could not lay down their weapons. That would have been a death sentence. Then these soldiers would have been lynched by partisans, or released prisoners of war, or concentration camp inmates. At the time, my grandfather's company fought in the heavy liberation struggles around Bautzen at the end of April 1945 and was stationed in the vicinity of Prague to scream. His company had not put down its rifle after the surrender for fear of retaliatory attacks by partisans. As soon as his company was on German soil, they put down their weapons and marched west to meet the Americans.

@@RanzigeWurst Thanks mate. That is interesting and makes perfect sense.

Plot twist he actually was the SS war criminal!

My wife's Opa died in Stalingrad.

My son which hasn't been born yet fough in Stalingrad

He's lucky he survived and it wasn't a Russian pow camp. All in all it could've been worse.

@tom bronski I don’t know much but if that’s true, all soldiers are war criminals. I don’t think it’s fair to say someone is a war criminal simply for being on the German side of the war.

well for the cause that the humiliation of the versaille "treaty" is gone. thank you allies

They were fighting the mortal Bolshevist enemy.

Adolf Hitler’s idiot ideology.

The cause was evil

For all replying yes I know there was a reason, I was just saying the war had the chance of never happening and all because one man Infuenced so many people to a blind cause.

As special the dying of serval thousends german prisoners at the Rhein Meadows Camps and Forced to work in Coalmines and Minecleaning all over europe under allied observationin post wartime.

Do you mean "sweet"?

marcobagut yes thank you

Meine Leute. My people. These men went to what they thought was home, to find the whole neighborhood gone from bombing. War is tragic.

Apart from the russian front the german soldiers on the westfront where indeed feed very well. The supply lines where mostly intact until the war ended. Hardship and hunger began with the collapse in march 1945 and ended until 1948 with the german currency reform.

You really expect people to starve themselves to near death for a fan film?

Ya those boy's look like they haven't missed any meals there pretty daam clean to

Exactly

I've seen video of German soldiers surrendering at the end of the war and none of them looked malnourished.

😎😎

Thank you :)

@@warcopy3352 look forward to seeing more. Where did you guys film. Reminds me of Wisconsin.

I believe that we will soon be able to shoot something new :) It's filmed in Slovakia.

@@warcopy3352 awesome, keep up the great work!

They also went on SEPPUKU ! .😡

Seppuku, sick and fanatical... Some traditions!

And so we had to drop: “The Bomb”

@@paulhudson4254 Japanese kids were ready to fight with sticks and suicide vests, every craftsman had to built muskets... so yeah either the bombs or battle on the mainland with an enemy who would rather die than surrender.

@@Piddel Uh muskets? In WW2?

I bet they really didn't want to fight to begin with.

Well at this point if they continue to fight , they gonna die.

Ďakujeme :)

Al menos no es un asco

I think it would have been snowy

Ďakujeme :)

It is a very complicated story - as one might imagine with so many people involved. There were horrific outrages beyond human understanding; there were moments of outstanding bravery; moments of cowardice and weakness and, at the heart, millions of men and women who were not at any of these extremes but gave their all believing in what their leaders told them. Surely, there lies a truth about war. It is generated by financiers and industrialists allying with corrupt politicians. The reaction is from those threatened and, in itself, is a mixture of good and evil. There are numerous examples of soldiers of all nationalities committing atrocities (by which I include murdering surrendering soldiers or bombing civilian and not military targets). It is surely a gut-wrenching, totally disheartening reality of having to commit evil deeds to defeat a greater evil?

You are right. “If we see that Germany is winning we should help Russia and if we see that Russia is winning we should help Germany that way they kill as many as possible” Harry Truman. (A Democratic regime)

@@reginaldmcnab3265 I am not aware of that quote but I think we should put some perspective on this. The USA and UK are not without blame but whatever that scale of blame, it pales into insignificance to the horrors that Stalin, Hitler and Tojo were responsible for. The true democratic countries were not whiter than white but can claim the moral high ground when compared to the (then) USSR, Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan and its allies

@@martincox7354 says the victors. Explain to me how did the British got an empire, was it not by military aggression! And how did The US got nearly half of Mexico, was it not by military aggression, I could go on.

@@reginaldmcnab3265 unfortunately Mr McNab seems very set on a political, rather than historical, agenda. I did not mention the word victors at all - I was much more precise; the video and all the relevant comments were about the Second World War: I was not aware that the UK ever had an Emperor. The British Empire was certainly won using a good deal of military aggression; aggression that was line with, but arguably more successful than, the aggression shown by France, Portugal, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands in the building of their Empires. I’m not going to continue with any sort of dialogue with Mr McNab. It seems to me he only wants to preach his politics - and I have no interest in assisting his propaganda

Thank you, yes, shipments to Norway arrive without any problems.

Warcopy Awesome :)

Somebody did. It wasn't left in the forests forever.

@@vivians9392 according to other commenters, the ground was littered with stuff that was tossed

I agree, they’d probably have kept their pistol in case the surrender order on the radio was a trick.

they had to shave every day, but yes the clothes were a bit fresh

Your Vaterland will remain occupied as long as people like you exist.

@Herbert Norkus I touched the right nerve there didn't I.

Well of course Western Front

@@bartdr5146 There were also troops in Norway who didn't experience much fighting in the west and in the east they were opposed by the Finns.

@@jussim.konttinen4981 yes but it looks like it's somewhat warm there

@@bartdr5146 well of course there western front? How do you know that? It could've easily been Austria, Czechoslovakia or the Courland pocket.

@@tedmccarron because Germans would not be so happy to surrender to Soviets

You're right. There were some so called werewolf units. It was their job to continue the war.

Yes, some did continue to fight after the formal declaration of surrender. Both SS and Wehrmacht.

Some did fight against the Russians then went west to surrender to the British or Americans.

@@DavBlc7 And after they were taken prisoner they were sent back to Soviets where they tried to escape

@@jameskirk9938 An uncle of mine did not have enough points to return at the end of WWII. He encountered Werewolf the following winter. They fired a few shots and then surrendered. No more ammo, food, or support from the civilian population they were forced to either starve or give up. How many other times this happened we can only guess.

Some former german prisoners captured and stored at the Rhein Meadows camps still spend their lifes time sentence punishment. This folks never recovered from the treadment they was gone truth after the surrender.

😎😎

💪💪

Grab yer paint ball gear there skippy,...no one really gives a shit what yer pathetic ass would do?.....now finish yer cigarette and crawl back under the cellar stairs like mommy told you,........

Unless they went to surrender to the Russians where they were probably sentenced to 10 to 20 years hard labour in Siberia gulps and probably freeze to death there. But if they surrendered to British or Americans, then at least they knew they were safe.

@@DavBlc7 yes i agree

@@DavBlc7 unless they were SS. If they were regular whermacht, they'd be treated nicely by american and british. But they didn't like SS.
